Mesmer is the fourth studio album from Australian metalcore band Northlane. It was released on 24 March 2017 through UNFD, with no announcement prior to the release. It follows the group's slight departure from their metalcore roots and towards a more alternative and experimental sound, as established on their previous release, Node.

The album received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised the songwriting and performances of the band members, while there was some criticism from fans over the production's quality. Jaymz Clements, in a four-star review for Rolling Stone, said: "On Mesmer Northlane offer a graphic meta-personal narrative couched in relentless machine-precise heaviness. [...] Few bands combine razor-sharp proficiency with spine-shaking heaviness and a generalised, amorphous disaffection the way Northlane do, infusing darkness, despair and (eventual) hope into an exultant musical catharsis. And four albums in, Australia’s leading metalcore lights are only getting better at it."
